Personally I didn't use an ethnicity filter (was there one?) a long time ago when I was using dating sites. But there are a lot of legitimate non-racist cultural reasons why someone might! For instance, if one wants a lot of extended family around, being very involved with your family, Indian culture is phenomenal (I'm only adjacent to that via my in-law's spouse, and they treat us as their own too). It's rare to find White Americans -- at least on the West Coast whose families are so close-knit. Of course, some people probably don't want that and would rather visit every few weeks and be at arm's length from their families. Obviously other examples abound, such as races that may serve as a proxy for religious belief, useful for the devout.
